fredtoast Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Earlier this year Washington Wizards Guard Gilbert Arenas (Agent Zero) faked an injury in order to get more playing time for rookie phenom John Wall. When Arenas admitted this he was fined and drew a lot of criticism. However Wall has looked great, and just last week Arenas got traded from the woeful Wizards to the Orlando Magic who played for the Eastern Conference Championship last year. Ocho and Zero are friends. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/3...chocinco-humor So I wonder if Chad was inspired by Arenas. Maybe his "injury" was just an attempt to get out of Cincy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 It's entirely possible the "injury" is mutually agreed upon. Corey Dillon has some mystery ailments his final year here, paving the way for Rudi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scharm Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Dillon mentioned several times Rudi playing well was his ticket out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is not out of the question as they knew TJ had broken ribs and didnt report it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhfinks Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 The Ocho already stated he wanted to stay in cincy..... and for 2.5million payout - it's not a bad deal.... Also, i know his play this year hasn't been great but he puts fans in the seats... he does things for kids in the community... Chad will play his ass off next year because he will want a contract ........ he's a competitor and wants to win... i believe he is hurt.... maybe they have known all year and that is why they went to TO so much.... just saying.....
